"This..." Bai Song was about to speak, but Xiang'er interrupted and said: "Lin Xun wants to take the exam, just let him do it. If he has practical knowledge, he will not be buried, but it is absolutely impossible to let Mr. Xun manage the exam room. of!"
As soon as these words came out, Father Lin and Mother Lin had a lot of words stuck in their throats, and their hands and feet became unnatural.
"Xiang'er, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Song didn't expect Xiang'er's reaction to be so intense, which was a little strange.
Xiang'er said seriously: "My husband, everyone in the world knows that my husband represents the new generation of courtiers. My husband has passed the imperial examination all the way to the present. My husband has benefited because the imperial examination is fair and just, and he has set a good example for the world. What's more, It complies with the emperor's political will. The most important thing my husband should do now is to maintain the fairness of the imperial examination. It must not involve any behind-the-scenes operations. If one is not good, my reputation will be ruined."
"How can it be so serious?"
Like a furious little female cat, Xiang'er said to her parents: "My daughter has said countless times that she must not rely on her husband's status to benefit the Lin family? What's more, it's such a dangerous thing? What if my parents just want to miss each other? My daughter may also want to visit Chang'an and come to the palace. My daughter welcomes her very much, but if it is to use her to help her brother for personal gain, this is absolutely impossible."
"Xiang'er, don't be angry." Lin Ting was smiling mockingly, comforting him again and again, "Your mother and I... are just one..."
"Ms. sir, you have something else to do, why don't you avoid it first?"
Lin Xiang'er was suppressing her anger and obviously wanted to wait until Bai Song left before she got angry.
But Bai Song really thought this was nothing, and it was the first time he saw Xiang'er so angry. He couldn't bear it, and rubbed her back as a comfort: "Well, everyone in the family said that Xiang'er is the most fair. It seems that is indeed the case.”
As he said that, Bai Song sighed: "But justice is justice, but you can't lose your favor because of justice. This is not a big deal in itself, so why such a big reaction?"
"Ms. sir, I..."
"Wonderful son-in-law..." Mother Lin spoke up, "It's all our fault. The Lin family is weak. Xiang'er sits in the palace as the head of the palace, on an equal footing with the princess. The other people are all born extraordinary. She is also under a lot of pressure and is afraid of herself. If you do something wrong, you will be blamed. As parents, we all know this, so it is understandable for Xiang'er to get angry."
Bai Song looked at Xiang'er again and found that Xiao Nizi was trembling a little and her eyes were red.
Over the years, he spent too little time with Xiang'er. He originally thought that she could live a more stable life as his wife, but he didn't expect that she would be so cautious.
Bai Song felt distressed and blamed himself. He hugged Xiang'er's soft waist tightly and hesitated to speak.
Some words were not appropriate to say at this time. Bai Song put all comfort in his eyes.
After thinking for a while, Bai Song shouted: "Xiao Cui!"
Xiaocui opened the door and came in: "What's wrong?"
"Take Madam to relax in the garden."
Xiaocui blinked and looked around the room. She found that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Xiang'er hesitated for a moment, but then went out obediently.
Without Xiang'er, Bai Song spoke much more directly: "I will help with Lin Xun's exam, and someone will naturally explain it to my parents in detail."
"No... no..." Lin Ting was waving his hands with a grimace.
"No?" Bai Song was stunned.
"We are not here for Lin Xun's wedding."
"Not for Chunwei?"
"It's for the autumn that just passed."
"Isn't the Autumn Festival already over? Otherwise, how could I participate in the Spring Festival?"
"This..." Lin Tingzheng's face turned red and he seemed afraid to speak.
"Dad, don't worry if you have anything to say. Xiang'er is a bit agitated. This trivial matter really has no impact on the palace."
Mother Lin sighed: "Hey, we were all confused for a moment. In order to let Xun'er pass Qiuwei smoothly, we used our reputation as a good son-in-law to give the examiner some benefits. Now the examiner is under investigation and has revealed the matter of our gifts. I was shaken out... Now it’s not about Xun’er’s marriage, but about being settled by someone else.”
Bai Song didn't expect such a thing and was a little surprised. However, with Bai Song's current energy, even such a thing was as trivial as sesame seeds and mung beans.
Seeing the frown on his face, Bai Song smiled: "It doesn't matter, I just need to stay in Chang'an to accompany the exam. I have only one request for Lin Xun."
"Son-in-law, please tell me."
"As long as he can learn with five points of talent, it will be fine. I don't want him to pass the Jinshi examination and end up penniless. As long as he doesn't reveal his secrets in front of the world."
"Although Xun'er is stupid and playful, he studies seriously and has a good reputation outside!" Mother Lin explained seriously.
"Yes, yes..." Lin Tingzheng also nodded repeatedly, "The two poems that the wise son-in-law gave to him are still circulating today. Xun'er has always had a good reputation. However, after the Qiu Wei incident, many people began to question the Poetry.”
"Huh?" Bai Song was greatly surprised. He didn't expect that the poem he wrote about Lin Xun could be used now.
I really didn’t expect to read these two poems all my life.
Bai Song took back his thoughts and said seriously: "Find an opportunity to ask Lin Xun to write two articles for me to see. If it doesn't work, I will let him become a Jinshi. If he really has some talent, after he reaches the palace examination, I will Then arrange a suitable position for him. When the time comes, I will also arrange an official position in Youzhou for him, which will be closer so that I can take care of the two elders in the future. "
"Still... can it still be like this?" Lin Tingzheng was a little confused, thinking that he could arrange the ranking of the imperial examination, the official functions, and the location of the official. It was an eye-opener to do this.
"Xian son-in-law, will you cause some trouble like this?" Mother Lin was a little worried.
"What trouble could there be?"
"But over there at Xiang'er..."
"I will do Xiang'er's work. It's not that she doesn't care about her family, she just worries a lot about her position, but all the problems are not big."
"Wonderful son-in-law, this... this is all thanks to you." Lin Ting was speaking, feeling in his heart that he had been the head of the family all his life, but only today did he know what it means to be a master.
The former little brother-in-law is now thousands of miles apart from the Lin family.
"Second elders, please wait a moment. I'll go talk to Xiang'er."
After Bai Song finished speaking, he stood up and went out.
Xiang'er was in her own courtyard, with Lin Xun and his two wives beside her.
Xiang'er held a book in her hand and looked at it carefully.
Bai Song walked over and asked with a smile: "Xiang'er, why are you looking so hard?"
"Brother-in-law, take a look." Lin Xun interrupted with a smile, "These are all articles written by me! See if you can pass the Jinshi exam? I told you that I could pass the exam, but my parents didn't believe me and insisted on going. What kind of relationship do you have that makes me afraid to stay in Youzhou now! Brother-in-law, you have to judge me fairly, what is my level?"
